Elizabeth White From what i could read from the comments, this is permanent? Canada Post is a company owned by the gov't but only runs 5 days a week. I agree a dollar a stamp is a bit much, we pay 58 cents a stamp here. 3 days a week wouldn't be an issue with me, though, just...

deebomb Hello aeris. The delivery of mail from the distribution centers is contracted out to the private sector. It is also contracted out from city or town to town. Rural routs are contracted out. My ex-husband was a driver from one route from a distribution center...

MsTickle Years ago we stopped having deliveries on Saturdays in our suburbs and cities. Where I live, there are no mail deliveries except to the outlying properties. To collect my mail, I need to go and pick it up at the Post Office. It can be annoying to go and not...

Rallon As with anything people come to rely on, when it is gone it will be missed! However, life would, no doubt go on. I would hate to see the mail stop, but wouldn't be too stressed about it either. Online payments can be a replacement, email can replace letters,...

wilsongoddard A decrease in the number of days that the mail is delivered really isn't a big deal. What is of more concern is the closing of some post offices; that will make things difficult for some people. Hikers (since the Appalachian Trail post offices are on the...

KrauseHome To me this is Crazy. So now this means everyone that mails out there payments and Cards and such will take even longer to get there so everyone will be charged Late fees, etc. and it will become harder to track down lost mail and packages I am sure. Isn't the...

thezone Hi artistry. Sorry for being so flippant in my comment but I work for the post office over here and I have done delivery in the early days. I do agree it will have a big impact on all the employees and those that ones that are retired.

hardworkinggurl I don't much important deliveries so it really would not affect me directly. I am sure this will cause a great deal of delays though because now the carriers will have loads to do in a day. This may cause them to be sloppier then they already are as sometimes...

bobmnu Back when it might have done some good they proposed ending Saturday delivery and closing many post offices but Congress stepped in and told them no. Let them become private and get the government out of the business totally.

emilyann07 That doesn't really bother me too much, to be honest I think no mail is good mail lol. The only thing they could potentially become a problem is if your bills were delivered late.

JoyfulOne They've been talking of cutting service for quite a while. I think it would be detrimental to them to cut service down. Many businesses, as well as individuals, rely on the postal system. Loss of regular hours and/or days would force people who really needed...

JoyfulOne @Kenzie Well, seeing as health reasons have kept me from driving for the past 10 years, and the fact that I only have to mail 2 payments a month, the price of stamps is moot at best. If I can't get to a bank, I can't get to FedEx, etc, either. So for me, old...

kenzie45230 But the post office runs at a loss every year. (That could be because the CEO makes $800,000 and all the postal workers are union employees...)

LilyoftheThorns I think that is crazy insane and unexceptable! I don't see something like that happening. The days we do get for mail right now are way to important to be cut down even by 1 day, let alone by 3!

ptower76 I think they will leave at least the major offices open because they do daily business there, you know money orders packages etc... Perhaps limiting delivery might save but closing offices I believe they will lose out on revenue.
